I'm sure this is an old problem (and old software :-(...), with a simple
answer, but I can't work out what's going wrong.
I'm using a lot of imported graphics in doc files - bmps and jpgs - but I
keep finding the dreaded red cross appearing instead when I re-open files.
I've lost days of work this way.
What's annoying is it seems to be inconsistent: some files are fine, some
(most) lose all or most of the graphics - and I don't know what I'm doing
differently (if anything).
I'm either using Copy and Paste (for bmps from other programs), or
Insert/Picture/from file (for jpgs), but the problem affects both. With the
latter, I generally leave the "link to file" box unchecked; the "save with
file" box is checked, but grayed out.
I know I should probably upgrade the software, but until then...any clues?
